Frederick Phiri is the junk-art king f Zambia: at just 22, he started t earn an internatinal reputatin fr being able t make cmplex and elegant sculptures frm scrap (废弃的) metal fund in his cmmunity.
Phiri’s father died when he was starting primary schl. Then his mther abandned him and he had t stay with his grandfather. His grandfather paid fr his schling thrugh primary schl but when he entered secndary schl, he had t get varius jbs t pay fr his fees. Yet even in schl, he was always drawing and making things in class.
After graduating, he did what he culd t supprt himself by making animal sculptures frm wires and sld them t turists. His wrk was s ppular that it caught the eye f Karen Beattie, directr f Prject Luangwa, a nnprfit rganizatin dedicated t educatin and ecnmic develpment in central Africa.
“I intrduced him t a lcal welder (焊工)” Beattie tld Newsweek.
In 2017, Phiri wrked with welder Mses Mbewe during the rainy seasn, helping t make a cmplex set f drs fr Prject Luangwa. The piece sparked an idea in Beattie’s mind: “I handed him a bunch f scrap metal and said, ‘Make smething with this.’ And he did. It was wnderful.”
Tday, Phiri cntinues his art, using pieces f junk peple bring him—keys, brken bike chains, ld metal plugs and whatever scrap metal is lying arund. He then turns the junk int abstract animals—elephants, cranes, giraffes, chamelens—and sells them at Prject Luangwa headquarters. The cmmunity has recgnized his talents.
“My dream is t earn enugh t study art at the Evelyn Hne Cllege in Lusaka and be able t make a living frm it,” Phiri said “and then t make very large sculptures.”

Scientists have fund smething strange has been happening amng sensitive bird species in the Brazilian Amazn in recent years. Nt nly were the birds declining in number, but their bdies were als shrinking in size. “We fund that size was nt nly shrinking fr thse sensitive species-it was declining fr everyne, “said researcher Vitek Jirinec f Luisiana State University. Jirinec’s findingsare cntained in a new study published in the jurnal Science Advances last Friday.
The study examined 77 species ver a 40-year perid, during which time the rainfrest had becme warmer. It fund they were rapidly evlving perhaps because smaller birds remve heat mre efficiently as they have mre surface area in relatin t vlume. Brian Weeks f the University f Michigan explained it this way: “Yu culd imagine lts f little ice cubes in a glass f water, as ppsed t ne big ice cube, and the little ice cubes melt faster because smaller things have larger surface area-t-vlume ratis(比)，s they exchange heat mre quickly. “Weeks didn’t wrk n this particular study, but he did research the size f mre than50 species f migratry (迁徙的) birds in Nrth America a few years back. He t fund that nearly all f them were shrinking decade by decade.
The tw studies strengthen the idea that birds all ver the planet migratry r nt, may be changing shape due t a warming climate. Weeks said these srts f changes shuld cncern all f us. “All arund the wrld, peple depend n natural systems. Cmplete natural systems prvide mre ecnmic benefits t humanity than the entirety f the wrld’s GDP, s they matter t yu whether r nt yu knw it, Weeks said. Jirinec thught the timing f his paper’s publicatin culd nt be mre fitting. The study came ut n the same day as the cnclusin f the UN climate change cnference in Glasgw. S thse results really stressed the cmmn cnsequences f the actins fr the planet.

9. Hw did Brian Weeks explain birds’ getting rid f heat?
A. By example and cmparisn.B. By analyzing the data.
C. By giving enugh evidence.D. By bservatin and research.
10. Which f the fllwing best describes the findings f the tw studies?

Munting evidence suggests that lngtime sitting — a main part f mdern-day life — is risky t yur health, even if yu exercise regularly. Based n these findings, dctrs advise all adults t sit less and mve mre. But hw ften d we need t get up frm ur chairs? And fr hw lng?
Few studies have cmpared multiple ptins t cme up with the answer mst ffice wrkers want: What is the least amunt f activity needed t cunteract the health effects f a wrkday filled with sitting?
Nw a study by Clumbia University exercise physilgists has an answer. Unlike ther studies that test ne r tw activity ptins, the study tested five different exercise “snacks”, r shrt bursts f activity after a perid f time’s sitting: ne minute f walking after every 30 minutes f sitting, ne minute after 60 minutes, five minutes every 30, five minutes every 60 and n walking.
The prper amunt f mvement, the researchers fund, was five minutes f walking every 30 minutes. This was the nly amunt that greatly lwered bth bld sugar and bld pressure. In additin, this walking rutine had an impressive effect n hw the participants respnded t large meals, reducing bld sugar spikes (峰值) by 58% cmpared with sitting all day. Taking a walking break every 30 minutes fr ne minute als prvided mdest benefits fr bld sugar levels thrughut the day, while walking every 60 minutes, either fr ne minute r five minutes, prvided n benefit.
What we knw nw is that fr best health, yu need t mve regularly at wrk, in additin t a daily exercise rutine. While that may sund impractical, the findings shw that even small amunts f walking spread thrugh the wrk day can greatly lwer yur risk f heart disease and ther chrnic (慢性的) illnesses.

C. Why lngtime sitting every day is risky t ur health.
D. Hw ften and hw lng we need t walk frm ur chairs.
13 What des the underlined wrd “cunteract” in paragraph 2 mean?

14. Which walking pattern is the mst useful fr health accrding t the text?

B. Five minutes f walking after every 30 minutes f sitting.
C. One minute f walking after every 60 minutes f sitting.
